Services and Support

3DCS Modeling Services

• Variation Simulation Modeling: Three-dimensional tolerance analysis aids in developing robust designs that minimize dimensional variation. When used for defining and managing products functional tolerancing and coordinating their measurement data, 3D tolerance analysis significantly reduces the rework required for engineering drawings, tools and gages.

• Current production troubleshooting: Identifying specific contributors, either from the product or the process, and rank critical components tolerances contribution & impact on the total cumulative variation, enhancing product quality while lowering costs.

GD&T Consulting

DCS' ASME Certified GD&T engineers provide valuable feedback on your GD&T and drawings. With help from DCS, you can optimize and validate your GD&T to improve Fit and Finish, while lowering costs and lead times. 

• Validate GD&T: Have DCS experts review your drawings and GD&T Sheets to help determine if the drawings meet ASME standards. 
• Optimize GD&T: Work with the DCS team to determine the optimal GD&T for your parts and assemblies considering the entire product and process.

Quality Process Consulting

Understanding and Automating Your Quality Processes

Quality is important. Getting real results and improvement from your quality processes is not easy, though. Collecting data and measurements is only the first step, as making actionable decisions from that data can take many hours of diving through large datasets, looking at huge spreadsheets and crunching statistics.

GD&T Training

Why Adopt GD&T at Your Company?

There are a number of reasons to adopt GD&T at your company:

Clarity and consistency in the design process. GD&T provides a clear and concise method for defining a reference coordinate system on a component or assembly that can be used throughout manufacturing and inspection. This reduces misinterpretations and the need for costly engineering changes and rework that can result from a lack of clarity.

Dramatic time savings. By using GD&T, engineers dramatically reduce their need for drawing notes to describe complex geometry requirements on components and assemblies.

Fit with accepted design-for-manufacturing methods. The proper application of GD&T closely dovetails accepted and logical mechanical design processes and design-for-manufacturing considerations. For example, the allowable variations as defined through GD&T can be directly read, or “imported,” into 3-D tolerance analysis software such as 3DCS.

DCS offers starter and advanced courses in GD&T to get your team up-to-speed and applying GD&T concepts. 

• Basic GD&T (8 Hours)
• Advanced GD&T (24 Hours)
